The first step onto the dock
is like a fresh haircut, a new dress
Unpacking the groceries
is like casting a line into clear waters
Changing into the swimsuit
is like answering the door on your birthday
Sitting on the front porch
is like unpacking in the college dorm
Cracking the first beer
is like sitting on the front porch
Watching the river flow by
is like forgetting everything else
whatever it was.
